Rehab Update

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening to you. Thank you for stopping by! I'm really not even sure where to begin I'm so overwhelmed with the last couple days events. 

Let me just begin by saying my doctor really got on my nerves today. She's the first doctor I'm ever going to fire because of her bedside manner and her lack of compassion. Although I should name names, I'm not going to in this situation.

I live in West Virginia and I have severe stage 4 bed sores. None of the nursing homes in West Virginia want to accept me because of my wounds. So in their ultimate wisdom, the hospital staff seems to think it's best for me to go to Piketon Ohio which is several hours away from my home. I would not see my family until I got out of there and I could be there for over a month. They're justification is that I have antibiotic IV but I have to take and finish a course of. They didn't like it when I reminded them the last time I was discharged from the hospital they did so with IV antibiotics and we even had wound vacs.
The doctor made me really angry especially with the way she was acting about everything. I am by no means a xenophobe, but it is obvious she comes from a different country and she has different values and standards than we do. For me it's all about family! I cannot go somewhere that is a horrible place to begin with, they have horrible reviews on Google and complaints lodge against them from the state. She was very snied with me and with a lack of compassion said that she was going to send me regardless of what I wanted and I could appeal it with Medicare if I didn't like it.
Well I don't like it! I don't like it at all, and I certainly don't like being talked to and treated the way I was. No human being deserves that in my opinion especially from someone in the position of a physician. Call me old school or crazy but it's just my thoughts.
Lori, the lady who's trying to discharge me and does all the paperwork etc etc told The help that I had hired a bold-faced lie: she advised them that they would have to change my wound vac which is not true. The home health nurse will have to change the wound vac. So as a result of this one of the helpers I had lined up for my home health backed out and quit. So I had less than 24 hours nearly less than 12 hours actually to find a replacement which I have. Lori then told me that they needed to be here at 8:00 a.m. the next day, and then told them that they needed to be here at 7:30 a.m. the next day. This is very wishy-washy and unprofessional. 
So today my caregivers and my fiance get trained on how to change my IV and properly take care of the wound vac system if it starts leaking. These doctors at this facility or something else. One of the surgeon actually wanted to cut off my legs for no other reason than to give me better mobility. He said that he would bet me the cost of medical school which is approximately 200 k that I would not regret it. And I told him with technology coming the way that it is, how stupid would I feel if I let him cut my legs off, and then I got the feeling back and could move them again but only had stubs.
I kept my temper and I kept my big mouth shut for the most part. I'm just trying to get through this so that I can get home. The best nurse I've had and the best caretaker I've had is my fiance Katrina who is a magical person! I'm not sure what I would do without her; oh yes I am, I would die a slow painful death in a nursing home from neglect. It's sad but true.

I think I have had enough Battlefield 4 for a while and I will be getting back into Neverwinter.  I had a great broadcast last night.  I have got a few of my old viewers back and it feels great!  I slept pretty much the entire day away.  I am happy the warm temperatures have returned as Winter was long and really cold.  I am glad to see so many people have been stopping by the blog.  Also glad to see my good friend Startled Sheep finally followed the stream on Twitch. Not sure what I'm going to get into on today's broadcast but I'm thinking I will start with Neverwinter.  Don't be too shy to comment on the blog people and I would like to thank everyone who has been over to Top Streamers to vote for my stream.  It really helps me out and it means a lot to me!  Have a great day!

Really off to a good start for the  Fund Anything  campaign.  It is really cool that so many people are pitching in.  I take my second infusion treatment tomorrow and I'm going to be honest;  I'm pretty nervous.  It is kind of scary knowing that something you are going to put into your body will help you but at the same time it could kill you.  I used to think I wasn't scared of anything...but I'm not so sure as I get older.  All I know is that this is not where I envisioned my life going.  There is nothing that can be done about it and you have to take the hand you are dealt.  As my good friend Forrest Gump once said, "Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get."

Medical Update

I have severe late stage ankylosing spondylitis which has not been treated for over a year. The medications I need to treat it would hinder my healing from the four stage four bed sores that I have on my backside. I'll be honest with you, I'm scared to death! I'm waiting on the doctor to confirm what I already know. My eyes feel like they have sand in them, they are burning, and it's very painful to be exposed to any light. Please say a little prayer for me and my recovery it would really help me out a lot. I'm really in a mess. January 23rd I was involved in the ATV accident, I was traveling at a high rate of speed on the blacktop. I hit a patch of gravel and wiped out rolling The ATV. Originally I had my back broken in three places, on my ribs broken but one, my left foot broken into places and my left shoulder broken into places. Additionally; I had three brain bleeds, a kidney bleed and a pancreas breed. I was in the hospital for 3 months with no issues and I we
